[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 38738, member: 152"] This little truck was given to me for my 17th birthday, it was an abandoned vehicle and ran, barely, it had skipped time and needed a valve adjustment, but anyway, here it is as I got it. [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/amigo008.jpg[/IMG] Being an impound, I had to wait for about a year before I could insure and register it, oddly enough, around this time the clutch went out of it, sadly enough, this was right before the homecoming of my senior year, so, I spent the night prior to homecoming installing a new clutch, I had never done it before so it took me a good while, but I got it. [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/suspenededlittlebuddy.jpg[/IMG] I got that done, drove it for a bit, and pop pop goes the cv shafts, no money to fix it, so I drove it around until last summer like that, also along the way I burned up 2 exhaust valves :( despite these flaws, I continued to truck my bike around with it [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/untitled.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/SDC10898.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/SDC10899.jpg[/IMG] got all that fixed, drove it around for the summer, decided I wanted to make it a little more off road capable. Upon investigation of the option plate, I discovered that the little fella had been one of the ones equipped with an off road package, which means stock it came with 31x10.5R15 tires, 4.56 gearing, and a 3:1 transfer case, perfect, what that means is that it has stupid low gears. A wheeling trip with my dad and his friend revealed what I would need to do first to improve it, the truck is ifs, which means the front axle doesn't articulate very well. But none the less, it was very impressive for a stock vehicle [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/HPIM0608.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w280/Yamaha95/isuzu/S6301077.jpg[/IMG] Since the ifs would keep one wheel in the air in certain situations, I decided I would install a locker in the rear end, it was ultra easy, the isuzu 12 bolt features a removable third member, and its bigger than what was put under a majority of jeeps.
